I have a 13th Gen Intel(R) Core™ i5-13600KF 3.50 GHz with 16 GB RAM. Will 2024 run on it?

RAM is cheap. Upgrade to 2x16GB or 2x32GB. ETA: 2x24GB can be another option if your motherboard supports it. Make sure whatever you buy is compatible with your motherboard and CPU. Common wisdom says to pick a RAM vendor and check their compatibility list. I’ve always used the motherboard manu…

I’m running a i5 13600KF, 32 GB of DDR5 6000 ram and RTX4060ti. This CPU powers way above its specs, which is why I chose it during my last upgrade. It’s not stressed with 2020 but will have to work a bit harder with 2024. The 13600KF does run hot so decent water cooling is required. My experienc…

I have exactly recommended spec right now. Running 2020 with all addons needed for simulating 737 Ryanair flight with stable 30frames is massive challenge. I’m really looking forward how this will improve in 2024.

Hi, I have a i7-9700 with an RTX 4060 and 32GB of DDR4 RAM. I am struggling with stutters I busy airspace. Considering an i7-14700, but, as it is cheaper would you recommend the i7-12700? I hope to buy a Motherboard Bundle

Unless you have money to burn the 12700K is fine, and well above their recommended specs. Their idea spec is an “overkill” spec to give your system additional headroom that may not be used by the sim. Both of those CPU’s have 8 performance cores and between 4 and 12 efficiency cores, which is mor…

So after running the 2024 Alpha for a couple of days I have a better idea of where I might spend my upgrade dollars. Firstly don’t bother upgrading your CPU. While 2024 used the cores more effectively on my i5 13600KF, it didn’t come close to placing much load on them. The 13600kf runs hot so I ha…

This is really useful, thanks. I was a little concerned about how many upgrades I’d need to do with a Ryzen 7 3700X and a 2060 super. Looks like just a 4070 Ti will do and maybe more ram.

User Benchmark is far from a reliable source. Their biases may not be so noticable comparing like for like brands, but they have basically zero trust with the enthusiast community. It’s especially prevalent with their treatment of AMD CPUs.
